If you want to enjoy this game in its full glory, a better graphics card is definitely needed. NVIDIA optimized settings pegs it to 768p, but with considerably high graphics quality, providing a much more enjoyable time playing as Geralt. It was extremely uncomfortable to play at the maximum settings at 1080p. In this game, I had a most unsatisfactory experience, due to the extremely low frame rate. We will start with one of my favorite games, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Temperatures must be taken with a grain of salt as every laptop will have different cooling configurations, thus the temperatures here are not really a representative of the GTX 860M’s heat output, but more of the Lenovo Y50’s cooling performance. All games tested are set to their respective maximum graphics presets at my screen’s native resolution of 1080p.
So for the purpose of this test, I will be using ThrottleStop to keep the CPU running as high as possible to try and reduce the possibility of the performance being CPU limited.įor the performance tests, I will be playing four games, The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt, DotA 2 Reborn, Battlefield 4 and The Crew. The Lenovo Y50 is infamous for cutting off boost very early, at around 65-70 ☌, resulting in the CPU running at 2.5 GHz, which in turn causes the CPU to bottleneck the GPU.
